A1.. . Curriculum..Evaluation
The..curriculum..evaluation..of..mathematics..will..benefit..all..students;..however,..a..few..gro
ups..of..students..may..benefit..more..than..others...At..West..Oak..Grove..Elementary,..only..2.2%..of..
students..with..IEPs..demonstrated..proficiency..in..math..as..compared..to..the..state..proficiency..rate.
.of..7.9%...Other..groups..with..low..proficiency..rates..as..compared..to..the..state..proficiency..rate..in
clude..students..who..are..English..Learners..(EL)..with..a..2.1%..proficiency..rate..at..West..Oak..Grov
e..as..compared..to..an..11.1%..at..the..state..level,..and..Asian..students..with..an..alarmingly..low..profi
ciency..rate..of..29.5%..versus..a..66%..proficiency..at..the..state..level...One..factor..that..may..negative
ly..impact..math..proficiency..is..the..time..devoted..to..English/Language..Arts..(ELA)..as..compared..
to..all..other..academic..subjects;..students..at..West..Oak..Grove..spend..90..minutes,..which..is..double..
the..amount..of..time,..in..an..ELA..class,..while..students..only..spend..45..minutes..in..math...(Illinois..
State..Board..of..Education,..2018)
There..are..some..glaring..discrepancies..between..the..overall..proficiency..rates..of..fourth-
..grade..students..and..the..average..teaching..comfort..level..of..educators...The..lowest..proficiency..o
, f..students..was..in..the..domain..of..measurement..and..data...Fourth-
grade..students..at..West..Oak..Grove..had..a..17.9%..proficiency..rate..in..this..domain,..whereas..the..s
tate..proficiency..rate..was..29.6%;..teachers’..average..teaching..comfort..level..was..fairly..high...Fur
ther,..the..needs..assessment..shows..that..the..average..teaching..comfort..level..for..operations..and..a
lgebraic..thinking..was..somewhat..contradictory..since..it..was..the..highest..domain..in..overall..profi
ciency...Within..the..domain..of..operations..and..algebraic..are..the..standards..4.OA.A..(use..the..four..
operations..with..whole..numbers..to..solve..problems),..4.OA.B..(gain..familiarity..with..factors..and..
multiples),..and..4.OA.C..(generate..and..analyze..patterns);..the..needs..assessment..showed..that..for..
the..average..teaching..comfort..level,..the..standards..4.OA.A..and..4.OA.B...were..ranked..the..lowes

the..highest..ranked..overall.. . Even..though..this..was..the..domain..with..the..highest..proficiency..at..
27.2%,..the..proficiency..of..students..at..West..Oak..Grove..still..lagged..behind..the..state..proficiency.
.of..31.7%...(Illinois..State..Board..of..Education,..2018)
When..referencing..the..Curriculum..Map,..it..is..seen..that..the..highest..proficiency..domain..(ope
rations..and..algebraic..thinking)..is..taught..in..Unit..1..through..Unit..4...In..contrast,..the..lowest..prof
iciency..domain..(measurement..and..data)..is..introduced..in..Unit..2...It..is..not..revisited..until..Unit..5
..with..the..bulk..of..the..instruction..in..this..domain..being..taught..in..Unit..6...Instruction..on..operation
